1 Tour Highlights Fact File Walking Loire Valley Moderate challenge, Superlative experience! Explore the finest section of France s largest river. 10-night format. Visit Medieval and Renaissance chateaux and gardens, troglodyte buildings and Fontevraud Abbey [resting place of Richard the Lion Heart]. Immerse yourself in the Garden of France : hike the Loire and its tributaries, with riverside promenades and ledges, through woodland and forest, across open countryside and alongside vineyards. Self-guided, inn-to-inn walking tour across three departments of UNESCO s central Loire Valley. Graded as a moderate challenge, averaging 10 miles/16 kms a day. Tour starts in Blois or Amboise and finishes in Saumur. Convenient access by train from/to Paris in approx. 2 hrs. Start any day from 15th April to 4th October. Luggage transfers throughout, plus two morning transfers. Chateau-fort and Loire at Chinon T h e m e Walking Loire Valley is a fine walking trip along UNESCO s world heritage central Loire Valley. It poses a moderate level of challenge as a result of distances traversed rather than any appreciable ascents or descents. There are two tour formats so take your choice based on your preference and the time available to you: a 10 or a 7-night version, where you will average 10 miles/16 kms walking per day. Whichever you opt for, you will enjoy a variety of trail, including riverside promenade and ledge, wood and forest, open countryside and, of course, vineyard walks through The Loire s finest wine-growing areas.
2 Walking Loire Valley starts in Blois [ten-nighter] or Amboise [seven-nighter], both blessed with their own Chateau Royale and, more latterly, a Gare SNCF to facilitate your arrival. Sandwiched between these two railroad book-ends is the book itself: the one you write. You walk for the best part of each day and then enjoy a series of cultural highs that most of Le Midi can only envy: numerous Renaissance and Medieval chateaux in an impeccable state of repair; troglodyte buildings and dwellings incorporated into the local architecture in the shape of hotels and guest house rooms, garages and even restaurants and snack bars; magnificent ornamental gardens that leave even the most horticulturally-challenged green-fingered; Europe s largest monastic complex and final resting place of The Plantagenets; and, last but not least, an array of light, viticultural delicacies that embarrass Parker s over-emphasis on highalcohol taste bombs enjoy a well-earned drink with your evening meal AND get up early and walk to the next watering hole that is sure to boast equally fine-but-light wines. Complementing this fine array of cultural heritage is an excellent range of mainly 3-star hotels, supplemented by two carefully-selected 2-star inns and one fine chambres d hotes du charme. Walking Loire Valley promotes your own perfect balance between enjoying a good day s walking and participation in the multifarious cultural opportunities that exist along this section of France s longest river all of which are documented in your comprehensive tour dossier. Tailor your walking holiday to your own unique interests in the knowledge that your hotels provide you with the early breakfast you need in order to maximise your opportunities for the day ahead. The magnificent chateau and gardens of Villandry

[7½ miles-12 kms, approx. 3 hrs walking] Morning transfer to Saint-Benoit-la-Foret and enter the Forest of Chinon with its emblematic allées.
